I've only tried Gerbings, but they work as advertised. Since you don't get a discount for a package deal, I just bought stuff as-needed & discovered I'm fine w/ a liner & gloves. But I don't commute & only ride when it's nice outside. It did seem that some of their stuff went on back order as the weather got cooler.

Gerbing heated jacket liner. Get the insulated liner and it will be useful with or without the heat on and simplifies your system. You probably don't need a heated pant liner, just fleece or polypro long underwear, and if you have heated grips perhaps not gloves either unless you're going to ride in sub-freezing temps. Here's how it works... if you keep your core (torso) nice and warm, the blood will continue flowing to the extremities and they will tend to stay warm too. If you get chilled the blood flow to extremities will be reduced and you will be miserable. It's much easier to prevent than correct, so apply heat at the first sign of feeling cool rather than waiting until you're really uncomfortable. Held has their Outlast (phase change) liners on sale for $20 right now. A pair of those with a size larger glove outer may be a better option than heated gloves, especially if you have heated grips. I have heated gloves but rarely use them. And with your feet, you're better off not wearing extra thick socks if means squeezing into your boots because it will reduce blood flow to your toes. Better to use a thin polypro sock liner with medium weight wool socks that allow you to wiggle your toes freely.

Gerbing's. Best warranty around, and they're readily available at brick-and-mortar stores nationwide if there's a problem.

I had one of their jackets, but I switched to a liner when I decided I wanted something hi-viz for winter (when people are looking even less for bikes). Heated overpants are the shiznit for when it's seriously cold. Heated gloves are a must.

I am not going to give you my opinion and say" period "after it .That is what an expert does .
I have an older generation Gerbing liner and G3 gloves. The workmanship is OK and they are still holding up after 8 or 9 years of use .Didn't like Aerostitch heated liners .
I may try Warm N Safe ,next time ,He seems like a good guy .
I will have to wear out the Gerbings first,though.

Just got a nice Gerbings inner jacket from another inmate used. Ordered up the bike-side harness pigtail for ten bucks and off I went. Gerbings had it to me in two days, in time for a trip.

Put it under a Darien and was toasty at 30's and 40's in the mornings into upper Michigan.

The Gerbings works great. Even the collar is heated.

I am going to rig a handlebar switch so I don't have to fiddle with anything else to turn it on or off while riding.

Never had heated anything before, this Gerbings stuff seems like the ticket. The gal I talked to on the phone I spoke with talked to me in great English, and was attentive. She got me what I needed toot sweet and that was that.

I've got the Powerlet jacket liner and like it a lot. It is very well made. I've had Gerbing before, but like the Powerlet better. The thing to get is the wireless control for your jacket. That way you can mount it your handlebars and control the heat better.

Whatever brand the OP buys, I`d check the maximum accesory power output that the bike will safely support, especially if the OP is considering buying multiple items of heated gear (jacket, pants, gloves etc) as the bike alternator may only support 1 or 2 of these items when used together. also they may have to consider any other FARKLES consuming power output while ride

If you get the gloves, find a brick and mortar, dampen your hands and try to put them in the glove. If it goes in your good, if it's like my old Gerbings you will spend a half hour trying to get them on. Gerbings good stuff, and their new gloves may be primo, but the old ones stink in wet weather.

^^ This is key.

For winter riding, I have the Aerostich Airvantage vest (with the zip-on sleeves)...although it is very bulky, the nice thing about it that it is very warm even when turned off. For summer riding, I have Aerostich electric bib which packs nice and small...and is enough to take the edge off. I prefer heated grips to heated gloves...but I do not often ride in *really* cold weather.

when I purchased mine, specifically looked on Fleamarket for used Gerbing to get old insulated style without microwire to get full coverage. heated jacket with sleeves are needed if one if planning on using heated gloves.

only microwire piece purchased was gloves with microwire. where thinner wires makes a larger difference. coverage on gloves are good.

have not tried wireless controllers yet... anything that reduces mess of wires all over has got to be an improvement.
